wow! That’s awesome! When I wrote my little story I definitely did not think he was breaking up with her for that reason. Awesome twist, I love it. I may keep this going because I like the way it’s moving, so I may post a sequel here, if that’s cool.
Intriguing stuff and cool to see the two of you doing a coop story.
Some editing points: The first sentence that starts with, “The strange man…” needs a verb. The second sentence that starts with, “The strange man…” should probably start with something other than the sentence right before it.
Though it was a bit tricky to follow I did like that last big paragraph, with the hands around the heart. It made for some neat imagery once I got my head around it.
Do you mean a verb before the ‘seemed?’ As is it’s too big a noun phrase before the ‘seemed?’
It probably is a bit redundant to repeat the phrase ‘The strange man’ but in a sense it served as a substitute for a personal pronoun. Admittedly it wasn’t a deliberate stylistic choice .
Infinity.
